Double-J versus single-J stent placement in kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes

Paper A Peer reviewed Meta-analysis or large trial

Key takeaways

After a kidney transplant, surgeons place a small tube called a stent to keep the connection to the bladder open. This review pooled results from many studies comparing two stent designs, the double-J and the single-J, looking at problems after surgery. Pooling many studies gives a stronger answer than any one of them alone. This is a surgical detail that affects recovery, not long term kidney survival.
